does anyone know much about building websites? i'm creating one for one of my classes and i can't seem to get the HTML to validate. i've only got 2 errors but it keeps telling me that there's something wrong with my first <head> tag and i cant seem to figure it out. it doesn't make any sense to me because there's nothing that i can think of to possibly make it right. any suggestions?

Well, I tried a tag that usually works the same way it always works in and it didn't work. I was trying to use a button tag but it didn't do what I programed it to do, just the "clickme();" function. So maybe it's that you forgot the "quotation marks"? When you were entering an element, I mean.

What error's are you getting ? A sample of the code would also be handy (put it as a text file and attach it to this post.).

alright here it is it's just with my head tag. here is a copy of my code and here is a screen shot of what the validation is saying.

You should really read what the problems say as they tell you how to fix it.

You forgot to start with a html tag, although you closed at the end, even xhtml needs this to show where the main code starts.
Included in this tag should be the xmlns attribute, also lang and xml:lang attribute. (Specify which language the xml uses)

Also on line 11 (10 before my edit) you forgot a space between attributes for your image.
Attached is the file with corrections.

ok thanks man i needed that. i didn't even worry about a lot of that stuff because i use dreamweaver and it started everything off for me so i must have deleted something by accident. and i looked at the correction a lot and just didn't get it because it was a problem with the start and i hadn't done anythign to the beginning.

I have some advice for you. If you wanted to take up website creation properly you should learn how to code by yourself, you can then move onto dreamweaver and be able to understand what the code underneath means and how to fix any problems you may come across.
